  some say its different standards

  but some players probably need some time to "grow"

  so maybe after his stint in spain will make him ready for england if he comes back.

  Golden Boot Forlan explains United faillure

  Diego Forlan has explained why he failed to impose himself during his spell with Manchester United.

  

  The prolific Forlan has won the Golden Boot after bagging 32 league goals with Atletico Madrid this season, leading the capital’s second club to a Champions League spot.

  The Uruguay international only claimed 10 Premier League goals in two years and a half at Old Trafford, and he has explained his bad figures by his lack of regular action and starts in England.

  “The competition was hard at Manchester, there was [Ruud] van Nistelrooy, [Dwight] Yorke, [Andy] Cole, [Ryan] Giggs, [Ole Gunnar] Solsjkaer,” he told El Pais. “I only appeared for 10 minutes every time. That is why I moved to Villarreal, who were not the club they are today.

  “I left United to revive my career and this challenge proved a good decision.”

  He said about his future: “I am not forced to leave Atletico, speculating is useless. I am very happy in there. If something comes, it will be studied.”
